for much of the west coast tonight, including northern california and hawaii. the warning follows a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that hit off the coast of western canada. and meteorologists keeping track of it for us. >> we were just watching from the pacific coast tsunami center. also the one in alaska putting northern california under an advisory. this is about 80 miles northwest of san francisco. so for reference on the coast that is close to point arena. the history of this tsunami so far around british columbia has been seeing reports of about a half foot to a 3/4 foot rise. so thankfully this does not look like a major tsunami event. however, it is being treated very seriously across the pacific where there is a tsunami warning for hawaii where some larger than expected waves of maybe one to two or three feet will be arriving at 1:00 in the morning our time. for the bay area know it looks like after midnight, we could see a quarter foot to a half foot along the coast. that may get extended toward

santa barbara. as happens in these events. if it hits an inlet or the bay, sometime it can bring it to a foot or so. so places like crescent city may see some issues tonight. some change in those typical tidal currents that we'll see for three to four hours tonight after midnight. sub sighing slowly as we head into tomorrow morning. we'll keep you posted should any of the advisories or warnings change. we're following another story. a hurricane could hit by early tuesday morning. the biggest concern is that the hurricane will join forces with the winter storm there and turn into an 800-mile wide system. people from the carolina to maine are preparing for the winds and rain and airlines are offering to change people's flights for free. nbc bay area is at sfo with the look at flights that have already been canceled. >> reporter: the airports and the airline are trying to be

passengers. >> reporter: the advice from airport officials for anyone planning to fly the next few days is to keep track of the storm and keep checking the airline' website for change. another option is to set up automatic alerts to your phone or e-mail changes. >> to find out where are they going, are those airports impacted. >> we'll to go philly if we can. >> you'll try in a around about way to get home? >> yeah. >> reporter: another thing for travellers to keep in mine, even if you're traveling three or four days after the storm passes, keep cheg for cancellations and delays. it will take the airlines about that much time to get back to their normal schedules. live at san francisco international airport. art you a arturo santiago. and we'll have the latest on the tsunami warning for much of the west coast and more on hurricane sandy as well. plus, a look at how the hurricane is us. the race to the white house ten

welcome back to nbc bay area. the orange and black took a giant step toward winning the world series. game three was played tonight but a change of scenery did not change the momentum in this

series. let's go out to motown for the action. top of the second is where we'll begin. a runner on with gregor blanco. they are having fun before the game even started. blanco triples off the wall in right center. hunter pence scores. it is 1-0. bounces in front of austin jackson. blanco scores. and then bottom of the fifth, bases loaded. two out for miguel cabrera. popped out to short. that was huge to end the inning. and that was the tigers' biggest let the of the game. g-men win 2-0. they now lead the series 3-0. >> our confidence is one game at a time. just getting prepared. and focusing and playing the game like there's no tomorrow. ing good it is going to get redundant. backs against the wall. >> i think we do a good job of taking it one game at a time.

we're expecting for the northern california coastline, down the mendocino coastline, to eureka. we could see a quarter foot to a half foot rise here. and as is the case with events in the past, sometimes coastal harbors inland can act like a gutter to a bowling alley and funnel in that energy. the fact that we're under an advisory should tell that you the folks at the alaska center expecting wave height rises of less than a foot. this is not an outright warning but still some coastal fluctuations in sea level are possible. any time after midnight to 3:00 in the morning and very likely this will get extended down the central coast, too. so use caution. if you're out at the harbors, you could see some unexpected rises of sea level of slightly above a foot in some of the coastal inlets and bays. 50s and 60s around the bay area. not much of a sea breeze yet.

after we wrap up the week on a pretty warm note. high pressure has been keeping us very sunny and dry. we'll see it probably through at least monday. and this pattern breaks down, opening up the door for a weather system come wednesday that will bring us a chance of seeing some rain at this point. it still looks like we could see it rolling in around halloween, trick or treat time. during the day tomorrow, very sunny until late in the day. here come the coastal low clouds and fog. the air conditioning is coming back. one more warm day inland for valleys and tuesday we'll see the temperatures coming down with more clouds. tomorrow, temperatures mostly mid to upper 50s. tomorrow's highs, probably the warmest day. closer to 80 degrees in upper 70s around san jose. the tri-valley locations should be in the low 80s and around san francisco and oakland, should see number in the low to mid 70s. 70s to near 80 degrees around santa rosa. we're wrapping up the weekend. feeling more like summer in some spots inland and then the

changes come tuesday into wednesday. let me point out wednesday into thursday. we've got rain over trick or treat time. halloween. one of the latest trends in the models has been to push this storm into thursday morning. i hope that's the case. by tomorrow night, we can push it back 24 hours but right now, some mid-week rain and then clearing. >> that's all we need. just 12 hours. >> thank you. when we come back, we'll go out to detroit again and check in with lawrence scott and he'll introduce us to a diehard giants fan who spend the last six months in a baseball cave. we'll explain. plus, hurricane sandy has not made landfall just yet but the storm is already having an impact on the race to the white house.

can watch every single major league baseball game. we have the cave monster that is 15 giant tvs on. >> it is something like mtv's real world. fans live together watching every baseball game of the season while tweeting and sharing a love of the game that for ashley come full circle. >> the giants and the world series is the most ridiculous thing. now that they are here and i'm at the world series, it will take me like two years to be like, no, this was real. this was not a dream. it is not a story. this is real life. it couldn't get more perfect. >> reporter: you would have to be living in a cave to not follow game four tomorrow. we'll be here with the giants are up 3-0. back to you in the stood over. >> all right. stay with nbc bay area for continuing coverage of the giants' quest for the second world series title in three years. we'll have the report in the morning and you can go to nbc bay area dogt. i want to check in with rob one more time on this tsunami
